That sounds good. I once started to think about how to do this butaccidentally fell asleep. I was thinking along the lines of the above,only it drives an akpm script which spits out separate quilt (or git) treesfor linux-next.

The problem is that I then need to "drop" the patches so that I can mergelinux-next. That's where I fell asleep. I suppose that putting thewell-baked ones into a git tree and mastering them there solves theproblem. But juggling 100-odd git branches on top of everything elsedoesn't sound fun.
